The birth of Venus

Fifth artwork in the series (we’re inching closer to the full cycle being posted here), done in the ancient ebru technique but with a slight twist.

See, we can use specialized paints, additives mixed with water, special paper to transfer paint onto or just plain oil paint mixed with a bit of diluent (which admittedly works just as well) and office paper. Actually, it proved to be quite an effective way to learn or teach this technique and start experimenting with it.

Now imagine yourself being present in the moment of creation of something beautiful, magestic even. You have no idea what it will be or how exactly it will look like… because it has no finished form. Yet.

How would you describe a feeling invoked? How would you explain it? What image to use? This picture is my take on these questions.

Here’s next artwork in series (now you don’t have to go back, scroll and click again! Yes, I’m reusing this text):
